As someone who goes back and forth between different inputs and datasets when working on a model, I appreciate the fact that this message pops up every time I run the model. In this way, I can make sure that I've run what I intended to do. But the window management is done so poorly, and it has been an issue for a long time.

First, the window is inactive after it pops up. So if I press cmd + m or cmd + w, the action is applied to the main window and all the information remain there fully stuck to the front.
Second, if you click on the sim info window and activate it, cmd + w closes the model in the main window (!) and leaves these tiny windows open, and cmd + m minimizes the simulation information window without touching the model window.

Third, there is no way of getting rid of these unless one manually closes them with a mouse click. No other option is available to deal with them (except using multiple displays/monitors).
As I said, while I appreciate that Vensim provides this important information about the simulation configuration, I think there should be a systematic way to manage these windows in a more efficient way. Thanks a lot for considering this feedback.
